newline-and-indent

Customizations: Capslock == Ctrl, Emacs menubar is hidden, one.emacs entry for ye olde 'newline-and-indent.

Then I use C-j (newline-and-indent) and then I can write the body of the let.

I think every serious Emacs user who wants this behavior (binding RET to newline-and-indent) has it set up this way already anyway.

(defun next-newline-and-indent () (interactive) (end-of-line) (newline-and-indent)) (global-set-key [C-return] 'next-newline-and-indent) And to start a new indented line above the current line, instead of Control a, Control o, Control i, I use Control Shift Return.

Well that is not true;) And since trying to do that I almost involuntarily format any code I write by rigorously applying the pretty printing algorithm of XP by combination of manual line breaks and Emacs' newline-and-indent.

I could probably do everything in mg, but I just cannot stand the auto indendantion in it when you have 8 spaces of indent and write a newline, the next line gets auto indented with a tab instead of 8 spaces (newline-and-indent assumes tabs are every eight characters..) Sure, this is not an issue if you use only tabs, but most projects just tend to be using spaces.

(global-set-key (kbd "RET") 'newline-and-indent) in.emacs to automatically indent every newline (also points out problems in your syntax right away) 2.

;; Use "newline-and-indent" when you hit the Enter key so;; you don't need to keep using TAB to align each line.

I wanted to say that it's not true, but fortunately I went and checked and found this (in my programming-mode hook): (local-set-key (kbd "<return>") 'newline-and-indent) in my Emacs config.

(global-set-key "\C-m" 'newline-and-indent) That's what C-j is for.
